00:00:01.249 --> 00:00:03.624
I saw the armoured vehicle hit someone.
00:00:03.624 --> 00:00:05.960
I ran with the ones who started running
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.253
to help carry the kid it hit.
00:00:10.253 --> 00:00:18.775
I didn't know it was my brother at first.
00:00:18.775 --> 00:00:23.533
We carried him and went into a narrow street.
00:00:23.533 --> 00:00:31.078
I recognised him from the T-shirt he was wearing.
00:00:31.078 --> 00:00:34.037
I turned his face towards me. It was my brother.
00:00:34.037 --> 00:00:38.040
I was in shock.
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:41.159
I didn't know what I was doing.
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.168
I kept slapping my face and screaming "My brother!"
00:00:56.505 --> 00:01:02.354
Things have been escalating since January 25, 2013.
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:11.650
But things escalated much faster starting from the Sunday the call to civil disobedience was made
00:01:11.650 --> 00:01:18.156
There was surprising sympathy towards us from the governorate building employees and they joined us
00:01:18.156 --> 00:01:25.079
It was a very successful day. There were 2000-3000 people filling the square
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.545
and the governorate building closed.
00:01:27.545 --> 00:01:33.550
After that success we decided to continue on Monday in the same way.
00:01:33.550 --> 00:01:39.880
However, when we got to the governorate building it was strangely closed.
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:46.558
They had closed the gate after the employees arrived and they wouldn't let them out like before.
00:01:46.558 --> 00:01:53.398
Members of the Brotherhood formed a human barrier in front of the gate.
00:01:53.398 --> 00:01:58.547
The employees leaned out of the windows and chanted with us except for one window
00:01:58.547 --> 00:02:11.501
from which similar-looking [bearded] people threw stones and broken glass at us and swore at us
00:02:11.501 --> 00:02:17.757
in very strong language. Boiling water was thrown at us.
00:02:17.757 --> 00:02:23.595
We were targeted, like booty.
00:02:23.595 --> 00:02:28.554
They attacked us verbally and with stones.
00:02:29.907 --> 00:02:37.574
They slapped my mother across the face and spat at her.
00:02:37.574 --> 00:02:41.853
"Tell us who paid you, you heathen!" they told her.
00:02:41.853 --> 00:02:53.513
Mrs. Faten, who was next to me, was beaten across the eyes with a rock.
00:02:53.513 --> 00:02:59.386
Their treatment of women was a huge surprise to me.
00:03:15.314 --> 00:03:21.039
_ didn't often go to protests. He spent most of his time working.
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:26.878
On the day he was martyred he was going to pick his wife up from _.
00:03:26.878 --> 00:03:32.916
He got into the car to go from Talkha to _
00:03:32.916 --> 00:03:38.178
When he couldn't get through the governorate building area, he got out and walked.
00:03:38.178 --> 00:03:46.344
He asked a group of guys and they told him they'd seen me on Suez Canal St. wearing a galabeya.
00:03:46.344 --> 00:03:53.836
He said he'd go check on me because my leg was injured and I was wearing the galabeya.
00:03:54.867 --> 00:03:59.858
An ambulance arrived and the medic came out to carry him into the ambulance
00:03:59.858 --> 00:04:04.670
He saw him and said, "He's dead. We don't take the dead," and got back in and took off.
00:04:04.670 --> 00:04:17.801
We found a motorcycle ambulance, and he took Hussam's body on it to the hospital.
00:04:17.801 --> 00:04:25.807
The doctors received us at the hospital and took him to a room.
00:04:25.807 --> 00:04:34.489
One said, "He was dead on arrival, but we're going to try anyway."
00:04:43.944 --> 00:04:53.553
15-20 minutes later they offered me their condolences and took him to the morgue.
00:04:58.476 --> 00:05:09.638
On Saturday we buried the martyr Hussam who was crushed by a police APC the day before.
00:05:09.638 --> 00:05:15.101
The police attacked the funeral procession with birdshot and tear gas.
00:05:15.101 --> 00:05:20.024
Our nerves were stretched tight with the funeral and the dead man.
00:05:20.096 --> 00:05:23.565
Saturday 2/3/2013, the funeral of Hossam El Din Abdullah, killed in Mansoura in protests against Muslim Brotherhood rule.
00:05:23.565 --> 00:05:26.223
Suez Canal St, Mansoura, March 3, 2013
00:05:27.285 --> 00:05:32.165
They attacked us at the funeral!
00:05:32.165 --> 00:05:37.289
An APC chased us as we stood on Suez Canal St.
00:05:39.012 --> 00:05:42.524
I stood there, not throwing stones, because I was in the right.
00:05:43.508 --> 00:05:55.163
The APC made a u-turn, a small window opened, and someone shot me in the eye.
00:06:02.696 --> 00:06:10.666
That was it. I stood still in front of the APC because I was in the right.
00:06:10.666 --> 00:06:16.492
A man died. I'm not better than he was.
00:06:19.791 --> 00:06:29.264
God protect this country. How long are we going to receive martyrs every other day?
00:06:29.264 --> 00:06:33.594
I hope people don't stay silent anymore.
00:06:33.594 --> 00:06:40.063
Those people at home, everyone, go and say no to this injustice.
00:06:40.063 --> 00:06:47.970
This is too much. Shame on anyone still staying home. Shame on you.
00:06:47.970 --> 00:06:49.696
Will you continue?
00:06:49.696 --> 00:06:55.135
Of course. Until everyone gets justice. Until my last breath.
